A brief reference to the restaurant in a food article in the South China Morning Post led us to some of the best Thai food we have ever eaten. Described as “Bangkok street food” by Pae, who was host the day, we went. We had a superb appetizer of fried marinated pork collar which was crunchy and delicious, served with spicy sauce on the side; an order of the signature Wagyu beef boat noodles which was truly satisfying with generous chunks of beef, herbs and crispy curlicues of pork rind which provided textural contrast; and a stir-fried noodles with sliced chicken which was hearty and delicious, the chicken possessing the kind of flavor we do not get in the United States. At lunch the main dishes are served as “sets” which include a choice of beverage — we each had the Thai iced lime tea, a fine complement to the food. The meal cost 334HK$ which included the 10% service charge.

On a second visit six days later we had crispy fish skins, wok fried Wagyu beef with holy basil, Thai garlic, chili and fried egg on jasmine rice, phat Thai noodles with tiger prawns, and, for desert, “red rubies” served on shaved coconut ice with young coconut meat and pomegranate. The fish skins were crunchy and dry, with no fishy taste. The beef dish was delicious, well seasoned and cooked with the herbs supplying just the right medley of contrasting flavors. The phat Thai was about the best we have ever had with a generous number of prawns. The coconut-based dessert was surprisingly refreshing and cooling for the palate after a spicy meal. The cost of this meal was 343HK$.

The service was consistently good, the waiters friendly, courteous and helpful in English.
